Green Dot Corporation (NYSE: GDOT), a provider of widely distributed, low cost banking and payment solutions, announced a new distribution agreement as well as other key contract renewals, enhancing its industry-leading retail footprint in prepaid.

Green Dot signed a new multi-year exclusive distribution agreement with Dollar Tree, Inc. (NASDAQ: DLTR). Green Dot expects to launch a broad portfolio of its network-branded general purpose reloadable (GPR) card and MoneyPak reload products chain-wide within Dollar Tree in the second half of 2012, which would add more than 4,300 locations to Green Dot’s expansive national retail distribution footprint and bring the total to approximately 65,000 locations upon full roll out. These FDIC-insured Green Dot cards will be issued by Green Dot Bank.

Green Dot entered into an agreement with Walmart (NYSE: WMT) to continue serving as the program manager of the Walmart Visa Gift Card. The multi-year relationship calls for new designs and a broader product line-up to drive growth for the program, which Green Dot has managed for Walmart since 2007.

Green Dot signed a multi-year extension to its network services agreement with PayPal, an eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) company and a global leader in online payments. As a result, all U.S. consumers can continue to add money directly to their PayPal accounts using a Green Dot MoneyPak.
